1942221221942. Latin America Panama Life in both urban Panama and the rural town of Chepo during the 1940s photo archive with most prints dated to 1942. Archive of 17 items 16 silver gelatin photographs measure 3.5" x 2.5" with one panoramic photo mounted on cardstock measuring 2.25" x 11". This archive offers a visually rich record of everyday life across class racial and geographic boundaries. Multiple photographs feature captions in ink on the verso providing locations and dates. The archive is split between two geographic zones: the modest rural community of Chepo and a more metropolitan center-likely Panama City-showing large buildings post offices police headquarters cantinas and well-trafficked intersections. In one striking rural image captioned "Dorein sic Indian Mother and Child" a white American tourist likely one of the photo owners stands beside an Indigenous woman and her child on a stilted wooden platform. The Darien likely of either the Emberá Wounaan or Kuna tribes woman wears only a sarong while a toddler stands nude at her feet highlighting the tension between Western spectatorship and traditional village life. In another photo local children gather in front of a wooden building marked "Cantina La Favorita de Chepo" while boys play barefoot on an unpaved road. Women in housedresses stand along porches and Indigenous women in linen skirts and little else are seen emerging from thatched or wooded homes. An image marked "Cantina at Chepo - 3-29-42" shows two white men and a white woman smiling at a table in a roofed structure made of rough wooden beams likely serving as a makeshift bar during their travels. The photos from urban Panama offer a sharp contrast. A modern cantilevered government building identified as the "Police Headquarters" is captioned en verso "Building now has many bullet holes on the sides" possibly a reference to political unrest or postwar violence. Another image shows a broad intersection labeled "6th & 8th St" filled with pedestrians in Western clothing including men in white suits and hats women in modern dresses and a cyclist passing beneath a neocolonial archway connecting civic buildings. Other rural images feature homes elevated on stilts a forested footpath with American visitors walking alongside locals and a panoramic view mounted to board showing a wide aerial view of one of the region's larger towns. Minor wear to edges. Overall very good condition. A rare and intimate archive documenting contrasting experiences of daily life in Panama across rural Indigenous communities and modernizing urban zones in the early 1940s with strong documentary value in the areas of colonial tourism race and hemispheric wartime movement. unknown

Minor wear to extremities and a few repairs to a few leaves otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 761-1504. <br/><br/><em>Original printing of The Economist - the most important and influential economic journal worldwide - from the year 1879. The initial planning of the Panama Canal began in 1879. The enormous endeavor of digging the Canal was reflected in The Economist: "The canal proposed by M. de Lesseps and intended to pierce the Isthmus of Panama is in many respects a bolder enterprise even than the Suez Canal. The engineering difficulties are far greater the climate is a much more serious obstacle to labour and especially to that of Europeans and finally the possibility of a rival plan being carried out is much greater." </em> hardcover
